Hi, I go to the gym a minimum of 5 times a week (due to wedding preparations!) I use phd diet whey. It has no impact on my blood glucose at all and is only 90 calories per serving. This is the only protein I found which I don’t think tastes like chemicals!

I too am having a nightmare with excercise and T1 diabetes!! I mainly do weight training and whilst this previously made my levels sky rocket, I have found in the last couple of weeks I am having so many lows!! The lows sometimes happen mid workout and sometimes hours after. When my personal...

I am extremely insulin resistant in the mornings and sometimes have to pre bolus an hour before breakfast! My breakfast is usually a protein bar and a Kvarg yoghurt which in total is about 20g carbs. even then I sometimes still get a large spike!

Thank you! I already have my dress... and it fit when I bought it!! I know it is soooo difficult to lose weight. To be honest I’m slim anyway so for me it’s just about toning up and losing a bit of bossy fat. Somehow I have already lost some body fat and I’m being measured again this week -...

Thanks! I don’t get married until August - so I thought I would give myself as much time as possible as I knew managing both would be hard lol!

thank you! I am very grumpy and tired at the moment!! I just feel exhausted from always being low..... I am currently on split dose levemir and my quick acting is humalog. Although even with a previous bolus I do still spike.... I may try eating a biscuit or something post gym then have my...

I actually don’t tend to do much cardio... I do a lot more weight training but my levels still seem to drop about an hour later!! I want to get my body fat percentage even lower so looks like I may need to drop my basal a bit more!

Unfortunately I don’t think I can do much more excercise... I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. I also always do 10,000 steps a day minimum ... more often than not it’s 15,000. I also know my body fat percentage has gone down so I must have more muscle..:: I think anyway!

Hey, I no longer have my pre workout insulin and I’ve reduced my background insulin too ... the hypos still keep happening ... :banghead:. I have a few jelly babies just before my workout and then af r my workout I’ll have a Carby dinner such as noodles, rice, pasta etc - seems even with doing...

The hypos are mainly happening on gym days .. although I do have some on non gym days (although not as many). Previously, I wold do a unit of insulin before a work out as I was drastically spiking. Now I do not but yet I’m having hypos after? The type of excercises during my workouts hasn’t...

Hi all, I have been diabetic for just over a year now. Of course when first diagnosed I lost a stone in 3 weeks - which was great but then the insulin started and I put it all back on and some .... :banghead: As I’m getting married I decided to join a gym, get a PT and reduce my calories. I...

my anti body test was negative - think that’s why my diagnosis is so up in the air! I think they are happy to just treat me as T1 due to my age, my symptoms, weight and how quickly I had to go on insulin! hope you get a diagnosis soon!

I still don’t have an official diagnosis .... but I am treated as T1 and insulin dependant on a nasal/bolus regime. I was 26 when my symptoms started - the usual thirst, thrush, losing weight (1 stone in 3 weeks), tiredness... My mum is T2 and my sister has gestational. I had my c peptide...

I was never a big drinker pre diagnosis anyway. But now, if I do drink, I just monitor super close. I have a libre which makes it super easy. I find wine makes me go high and vodka makes me go low. But whatever I have drunk I always hypo in the night and so I set numerous alarms over the night...

welcome! Just as a word of support the same happened to me last year.... got so dizzy I ended up in hospital and told I was diabetic. my hba1c was 103 - so very similar to yours. My most recent one (12 months later) was 50. Honestly it gets easier over time and don’t panic about getting you...
